Growing up, my hair was—surprisingly—straight. Yup, up until the 6th grade, I had the privilege of only pulling my hair up in a ponytail as my daily morning routine. Granted, my hair wasn’t silky-smooth or stick-straight, but it was straight enough that I never dared to go near a heat tool. Of course, the title of this article wouldn’t make sense if my hair was always this way.

This year, I thought of all of these things along with my 21st birthday! While turning 21 for people during the COVID-19 pandemic may look different in comparison to past years, my friends and family made the most of it and were able to help make this my best birthday yet.
In a time where toilet paper is a commodity and hugs are dangerous, craziness is at an all-time high. Every day I am surprised by something new and absurd. But it wasn’t until I found out I’d be moving into college for the first time— totally unaccompanied by anyone I love— that it brought a whole new level of shock.
As a first-year student on campus, I struggled to find quiet places on campus where I could sit and study.

It’s easy to say “I’m fine” even when you’re not. I’ve certainly done this. A lot of people have just been skating through these past few months, hoping restrictions will melt away and the world will suddenly become normal again.
